Open Books is a project aiming to explore the “mise en abime” of the object book as well as to research the use of books as an exhibited material. This publication, Volumes ABC, was produced in two steps. Printed ahead of the exhibition, Volumes A+B served as a documentation tool and caption for the public. Extended later by Volume C, the three volumes become then a trace of the exhibition.

TEAM is a self-published journal that was made possible through collaboration. Although the submissions are varied, they are tied together by a shared sentiment, the willingness to contribute to creating an intellectually stimulating yet accessible platform for young artists, photographers, writers, and their projects. This diverse content is kept cohesive by the design of Joseph Hales. Issue One includes an interview with sound artists Variable 4, artwork by Katie Scott, a collaboration between poet Sam Riviere and illustrator Martha Ellen Smith, as well as a pull-out, riso-printed comic by Joe Kessler.

TEAM is 52 pages and printed in an edition of 200

Earth Bound, Sky Bound
A book by english artist Daniel Eatock.

Daniel Eatock says: “The photographs are not precious and special, they are just a set of snap shots that are unified by the horizontal line of the horizon. When I took the photographs I was happy and inspired in a cliche way, a took a snap shot of the view to mark the special moment. I did not take them as ‘beautiful photographs’ instead see them a amateur snap shots of ‘beautiful moments’. They have not been taken consciously in preparation for a project, unlike the other sets of photographs on my website. I only noticed them as a set by chance as I was sorting through my photo archive and wanted to unify them and work with them. Not highlighting any one picture or showing how beautiful they are but to deal with them in a semi rational way. Then I arrived at the idea of hiding the line of the horizon in the margins of a book. Hiding the point of interest.”

Alex Trochut – More is more

Just 30 years old, Alex Trochut is one of the most internationally renowned Spanish designers. Typographer and illustrator, Trochut shows us in this book his most intimate, most personal and, at the same time, professional side.

Trochut talks about his professional influences such as Dali and Miro and of course about his work, but also about his creative processes. In this book we find an entire series of sketches and the transformations his ideas undergo from the moment they are conceived until they reach the paper.

Alex Trochut’s illustrations, designs and typography take the modern notion of minimalism and flip it on its side.
Trochut’s work philosophy is ‘More is more’. It is rich with elegant, brilliantly detailed executions that simultaneously convey indulgence and careful, restrained control.
Trochut is driven by a desire to constantly evolve, which can be seen in his eidetic body of work.

The Alex Trochut’s monogram is printed on the cover with phosphorescent ink.
